The Hollywood Reporter has an interview with Fred Armisen about his new gig:
When Seth Meyers’ Late Night launches on Feb. 24, it will do so with another familiar face by his side. The former Saturday Night Live head writer has tapped his former castmate Fred Armisen to be his bandleader.
The well-received plan came together during Meyers’ final week on SNL, with Meyers acknowledging it was SNL impresario Lorne Michaels’ idea. Armisen has already written a Late Night theme song, and his newly formed 8G Band has been playing as part of Meyers’ mid-February test shows. Below, Armisen opens up about the backstory, the offer and why he can’t wait to get started.
